Straigtened, flat, messy and spiky. What a load. Hollywood types today spend almost as much as John Edwards on their hairdos, only to have them look purposely tussled as if they just rolled out of bed. No style, nothing to complement them. Granted, long gorgeous hair is nice anytime----if its combed. But the gals I grew up watching on the tube or in some cases, dating, at least took the time to try to be pleasing to the eye.
Enough grumbling. Here are the top 7 sexiest styles of recent decades, in no particular order.
7. The Farrah look. Feathered, thick, and nice to sink your paws into. A late 70s phenom.
6. The Farrah Plus. Bigger, better and fluffier. best exemplified by Stephanie Powers and my 10th grade girlfriend.
5. 1980s "every hair in place" Perm. Even the wind did not effect this style.
4. The bob. Not the modified, modern, messy pseudo bob, but the real thing. Neat and short.
3. Updo. Not just for special occasions. Hot all the time. With infinite variations of the theme.
2. Boy cut. Also worn most exquisitely by one of the greatest all time beauties, Audrey Hepburn.
1. The Flip. Laura Petrie and Emma Peel. No more needs to be said.
Pics? ;-)
Don’t have any up here - lemme check and see if the director is online and might e-mail me one or two.
i had a dorothy hamill wedge in my life and still kind of do. i can see you with a Worley-do !
I agree with you. My husband decided that the comb over wasn’t an option and his ringlet of a hairdo (a ring around the head) wasn’t working either. He shaved his hair off and is sexier than ever. (bald men rock bump)
I did too, for a long time. You could fix your hair one day and never have to fix it the next day either! LOL, it wasn't called 'wash and wear', helped with oceans of hairspray, for nothing! It was a staple for me, too! My hair tends to be 'resistant' to curl and rather straight and fine, so the perm was the 'fix' recommended by hairdressers. I miss the scarves and other hair things we used to 'dress up' the style.
Did you ever do the “roach clip” thing with the feathers? Maybe that was regional. It was quite the political statement in my school.
No I never did. I had a few friends who did. It didn’t really catch on in my area. I had quite the collection of hair scarves and ribbons, I still have a few. I went for a Belinda Carlisle/Go-go’s kind of scarves and big earrings look, and of course pumps with jeans. My hair is dark so I often had red and burgundy highlights, too.
Pretty lady but not a pretty life.

I am very not surprised to find out Allegra had the Marcia Marcia Marcia do! I can very much picture that.
I’ve been threatening to wear the Worley to work. It’s a great style. I just gotta get up early enough to construct the foundation.
So is Sophia...she was born in 1934; O’Hara was born in 1920...both alive and well, apparently.
How funny - I was just thinking about that the other day.
If I weren't stuck out here in the Twilight Zone, I could dig up a pic and scan it. I'll have to do that when I get home.

Get a PIC! I want to see!
Hey, maybe I'll do the Sheila Jackson-Lee hairstyle when I get home. I'll need a steering wheel or something for the foundation.
HAHAHA! You’ve found Madalyn Murray O’Hair ... she’s been missing for a very very long long time.
We have some hubcaps, if those will work.
